this is going to be a quick overclocking guide well not really guide just an overclocking result video for the GeForce GT s 450 cyclone from MSI so I have dialed in my final overclock on the GPU so I've got nine hundred forty two megahertz on the core 2.2 two gigahertz on the RAM and the shader with all Fermi architectures is locked to the core at this time I have maxed out the voltage but you can see my temperatures are still well within reason at about 60 degrees with 64 percent fan speed which isn't too loud really considering that the GPUs under full load so I'm just going to do some performance benchmarks and then at the end of this video you'll see what GPU artifacting looks like in a very extreme example of me pushing it a little bit too far here's my default score with the GTS 450 cyclone from MSI now bear in mind this is going to be a little bit higher than what we'd get with a stock clocked GTS 450 because the cyclone OC which I didn't mention before it is an OC card is stock overclocked so there you go there's our baseline and I'll be back with the overclocked performance in a moment so you can see here with my overclocking profile which I actually did have to adjust slightly since I did that last shot the RAM was not it was stable in fir mark but it was not quite stable in 3dmark Vantage I was getting some artifacts so my final overclock ended up being 942 mega Hertz on the core 2.2 gigahertz on the ram so you can see with that overclock we've managed to get a pretty sizable increase in our vantagescore and I guess that pretty much concludes my overclocking results for the msi geforce GT s 450 cyclone well this is probably the funkiest example of artifacting i've ever seen I'm working on my overclocking guide I guess I'll just throw this video at the end of the overclocking guide but I turned up the memory clock to 2.3 gigahertz and even turning it back down didn't fix it but I just wanted to show you guys this is a fairly extreme example of what artifacting can look like you can vaguely see the ring from fur mark spinning sometimes in the background but other than that the screen is basically gibberish now odds are excellent I haven't damaged the card you can see I set it back to what I know is a safe setting so I'd still doubt the core Frank tup and I still got the memory clock at two point two five gigahertz actually it was stable a little higher than that so we can try one more setting anyway this is just part of the process and sometimes you get some pretty spectacular fireworks displays when you're overclocking a graphics card
